Thanks for the heads-up. Timer set. I almost never watch Freeview channels or keep an eye on schedules, but I can't stream Sky Arts so I would have missed this otherwise.

Yes, much appreciated!

Just watched this. Did anyone else see it? I thought it was very good, and included some interesting excerpts of a 1992 interview with Christopher Tolkien that I hadn't seen before.

You probably can. It's available on Freeview, so you don't need a Sky subscription. But it's not on-demand, so you'd have to wait for a repeat.
